Can you supply me with a contact email address or telephone number. I work at the Wollongong City Libraries and want to purchase the book 12 creek walks.

We’re all pretty busy at the moment, so the chances of us all meeting up with you for coffee are fairly slim. We can let you know when the next walk is happening – we don’t have a fixed schedule, we just walk when we can.
all the best
Kim

I was introduced to your project late last year when Louise Brand described it to me, and directed me to your website. I am in the process of developing a walking artwork that isn’t entirely dis-similar from the tenets of your project and I’d love to connect with you to discuss what you are doing, but even better to join you for a walk. Unfortunately on March 25/26 I am away so unable to join you for the walk & gallery events.

Might it be possible to join you for a different walk at another time or could we meet up over coffee sometime? I’m happy to send my project outline through if you are interested.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Lizzie

Walking Upstream is still in its early stages – we’ve only done 3 or 4 walks – so we’re still working out what the whole thing could possibly be “about”. And the only way to work it out is by… walking!

So, your presence as our out-of-town guest may prove to be quite formative – especially since the project does seem to be shaping itself up around hospitality principles – sometimes WE will be the guests at someone else’s creek. Other times, as now, we’ll play host to outsiders.

You know what else? “We” – your hosts – are still very much getting to know one another. It’s one of the unstated motivations of the project (at least for me) – to create a framework for Brogan, Kim and I to work together (this trio has never undertaken a collaboration before).

I liked your observation – which you made even while we were walking – that this project isn’t really about creeks at all, it’s about the social.

I think that is something that we’ll continue to ponder as we continue along: how, via the (futile? silly? pointless?) act of trying to walk along a creek, particular kinds of sociability come into being.
